"Honesty is critical when it comes to anything related to policy, procedure, and standards. We must, however, ensure that we do not take a matter of opinion and tout "honesty" as a way to be hostile, controlling, or disrespectful of others. For example, we should have integrity when exercising a company's casual Friday policy by only wearing approved attire. Telling another associate, however, that their sweater is tacky and ugly and not up to dress code standards is unnecessary and rude, even if we may believe it to be an "honest" assessment."
